Can you build a decent turbo kit for under $600?
 
Ok here's the challenge, All parts must be all bought and no custom diy parts . Everything must brand new(used makes pricing to complex) , be manufactured and must be able to be put together with as little fabrication as possible.

The motor used is a standard B18b. The kit must be a/c compatible , reliable, and have resonable power of 210hp to the wheels.


I want to put a reliable daily drivable kit for my GF's car and have $600 to play with. That's the reason,if you must know ; why this challenge is created.

eh, don't think you can do that as i believe the exhaust ports are spaced differently. Yea, d-series is easier as i am doing myself, have only spent $200 and only have turbo and i c piping to get. ;D
